OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING & FINANCIAL ADVISORY PROCESS
How Do We Get Started?
We appreciate how daunting the process of financial planning may feel. We offer a free consultation to ensure a good fit.
OUR FINANCIAL PLANNER SEES THINGS DIFFERENTLY
Philosophy Behind Our Approach
All this stuff about money is not actually about money. It’s about living with confidence, doing what you love, giving to causes you care about, having better marital harmony, spending time with grandchildren and leaving an impact in the world -- whatever matters most to you. We help you get more, so you can give more, and ultimately, just do what you love.
WHAT MAKES OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING & FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICE DIFFERENT?
Why Work With
Mobius Planning?

Happy Simplicity
We figure it all out for you so you don't have to. Delegate the heavy lifting to us. We'll provide you the bottom line.
Joyful Giving
Get more to give more. It's core to our mission. We love to give and want to set you up for abundance and greater giving.
Financial Stewardship
Be a good steward of your resources. Manage your finances well in alignment to both your goals and your values.
Getting Swindled
You may be sold and swindled by a commissioned or quota-based salesperson masquerading as an advisor.
Financial Blunders
Making a big mistake. Doing something too late. Paying more tax than you have to. Taking more risk than you should.
Stress & Worry
You wonder if you're doing the right thing. News headlines have you worried. You're not on the same page with your spouse.
Unfulfilled Goals
You're too busy, overwhelmed, unsure, poorly advised to make the most of your finances, leaving you short of fulfilling your goals.

I have tried investing on my own and have realized that I have no idea what I'm doing. So I needed to find a professional that was smarter than me at this. Therefore Bily. Since Bily has an analytical background, he was able to show me numbers that made sense. Beyond the basic compound interest PV calculations they teach you in high school accounting. He was able to provide more sophisticated PV calcs including tax implications. If you want to just buy funds, you can go to anyone any they'll provide you with some compound interest calculations that may wow you. If you want intelligent, and analytical reasoning behind your investments, Bily's your man.
Bily has been my financial advisor for over the last year and aside from being extremely competent, he provides insightful advice catered to MY personal situation. One quality that truly stands out is his ability to listen, understand and propose solutions. He has been easy to communicate with and I am confident that he also has my best interest when it comes to ensuring my financial goals are within reach. One of the finest and most professional advisors I know.
Bily, thank you for taking the time to really listen to what was on my heart and helping me gauge on what is important. I really appreciate the time and care that you took in walking through this process with me and for giving me a different perspective of financial stewardship. I know the importance and value of it, but you took it to another level and showed me the depths into every area of my life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Bily was referred to me by a family member. I'm not that well versed in investing and he was able to explain everything very clearly. He communicated quickly and clearly and made a lot of time to make sure I understood what I was investing in. I'd recommend his services to anyone that is looking for an investment/insurance advisor that they can trust.
I've known Bily for a good few years now, he is definitely someone who I can fully trust and rely on because of the person he is. He is a man who seeks other people's interests, I've personally experienced and witnessed how much he cares for people and how well he takes care of them. His intelligence simply amazes me and he is always striving for excellence, not to mention he has great work ethics. There is no reason why I wouldn't find him to take care of my investments. He is a blessing to my life.
Bily has been helping me for the past year to get my financial things in order since I've never bothered with investments or financial planning in the past. He was very straightforward and explained that I had many financial planning options to choose from and he advised me on what would make the most sense for my situation. He was very thorough, detailed, knowledgeable and gave me the sense that my financial planning was in good hands. He doesn't try to up sell or make you buy options you don't need. I feel like I have a good financial foundation now both in knowledge and finances.
We've always dealt with the banks prior to meeting Bily. Let's just say the experience was a lot different. Bily took the time to explain a lot of things that the bank reps never did. I feel more confident in where my money is invested now.
Bily was absolutely great to deal with. He took his time to understand our needs, explained all the various options, and gave us his honest opinion on what he felt was best for us.
Finances are SO important but I don't have time to learn about all the options and stay on top of things myself! I just want to meet regularly with someone to help me summarize and optimize things. Working with Bily has been a great decision. His advice is free of conflict of interest because it's not based on commission. He makes things easy to understand and educates us on financial concepts.

Bily listened attentively and went beyond. My circumstances are unusual and it's challenging to find insurance that work for me. He helped me find solutions to fit my needs. I really appreciated it and would highly recommend Bily.
Financial management was never our forte. We just did the average RRSP/TFSA contributions and never really understood where our money was going. We've always dealt with the banks prior to meeting Bily. Let's just say the experience was a lot different. Bily took the time to explain a lot of things that the bank reps never did. I feel more confident in where my money is invested now and I'm glad we made the switch to Mobius Wealth.
Financial planning has never been an area of interest for me; however, with a family and 2 young kids I understood that it was necessary to have a good plan in place. I am glad we have Bily. I appreciate his clear communication and being able adapt the planning with regards to our future plans. Bily enjoys learning and exploring ways of how to do things better. If he doesn't have an answer for you, he will research it and respond. I appreciated the new software used that made it easy to follow and understand our plan. Overall, I have confidence that Bily has our personal interests at heart and would recommend him to anyone as a financial advisor.
Had a brief but very informative consultation with Bily and i couldn't be more happy with the advice he has given me.
I really am pleased with his level of clarity and professionalism he displays, he managed to clearly give me a better understanding of my investment and savings options and so far its been sound financial advice. Look no further, Bily is your guy when it comes to getting your finances in order :)I've never thought about getting financial planning before I was introduced to Bily. I am self-employed and run a local rodent control company in Burnaby so it doesn't have complex finances that I can't handle. But my friend mentioned Billy offered comprehensive financial planning services and that helped him tremendously. That's why I gave it a try and had an consultation with Bily. During the meeting, we covered quite a few goals that I wanted to achieve and he already offered a few suggestions. It's been a year now and I am very pleased with his services. It's great to have a trustworthy financial planner looking after your finances. I would definitely recommend Billy if you want to achieve any financial goals.
